Drinking to get drunk can be lots of fun, just not all the time. If you think everyone around you is constantly drinking too slow, then maybe, just maybe, it could be that you are drinking too fast because your tolerance for booze is so high. The Australian Department of Health recommends that healthy men and women drink no more than two standard drinks per day to reduce the risk of harm from alcohol-related disease or injury. Any more than four drinks on one occasion and you are officially "binge drinking."
